Abstract Objective Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is considered the gold standard imaging modality for assessing myocardial infarction lesions, offering precise myocardial tissue characterization. Elevated transverse relaxation time (T2) serves as a specific indicator of increased myocardial water content, thus becoming a valuable index for myocardial edema. However, conventional T2-weighted CMR sequence exhibits several limitations, primarily providing qualitative information. In contrast, recently developed quantitative T2 mapping techniques overcome these limitations, enabling a more reliable assessment of myocardial edema. These techniques offer the advantage of diagnosing and monitoring myocardial injury without the necessity of contrast agents. Our study aims to add to a growing literature demonstrating the efficacy of quantitative T2 mapping technique to detect and quantify regions of myocardial edema post-myocardial infarction. Result Native T1 and T2 mapping accurately identified myocardial edema in all patients enrolled in the study. Notably, native T1 and T2 values exhibited a significant elevation in the infarcted myocardium compared to the remote myocardium (for T1: 1295.50 ± 87.65 vs. 1074.95 ± 92.86 ms, respectively; and for T2: 74.63 ± 6.51 vs. 52.53 ± 6.26 ms, respectively; p |
